I don’t know if there's a Star Trek thread yet, well, I did have a quick look but couldn't see one. It's definitely one of the few films I'm looking forward to, but, at the same time, am worried about how it might turn out.

But, I really love Star Trek, and so, am happy to see another film being made. It's that sort of uncontrollable thing, that you want more...and there's something I feel special about this because...well, it's what I call, pure science fiction...what I mean by that is, space ships in space, and ray guns and so on...full on alien species. And honestly, we don’t seem to get much of that in big budget feature length style.

MAN, I think folks will either hate or love this trailer...I’m in the love crowd (for the moment)...the simple fact here being, that this looks, like, a completely different version of Star Trek…a *drastically* different version...this to me is quite a bold move, fresh, and...I respect it. Hate or love it when the day comes that I see it...the respect will always be there for the effort to do a different thing with it. It may work, it may not work...it’s a risk, but you have to admire risk takers.

All we know at this time is, that J.J. Abrams apparently is more of a Star Wars fan than a Star Trek fan, and that he also loves Galaxy Quest a lot. You can see in this trailer that that’s the case actually, but it’s also sort of Star Trek meets Mission Impossible meets Star Wars meets Galaxy Quest. I happen to absolutely love Galaxy Quest, so this is super cool that J.J. Abrams might have a similar feeling at times in his film...that he’s thinking this way is good to me.

this is easily my most anticipated movie for next year. i wouldn't call myself a "trekkie" but i am fascinated with the whole world and themes that roddenberry created and i've kept up with most of the series. it looks like abrams is going to keep what i love about the trek universe intact while invigorating it with a whole new sense of realism and urgency. much like what they've done with the new bond films.

plus, after hearing how he handled speed racer, i'm just as excited to hear what michael giacchino does with the score.

I really enjoyed Mission Impossible 3 and Cloverfield, so I'm looking forward to what J.J. Abrams and his crew do with Star Trek. Abrams also wrote the film Regarding Henry very early in his career, and I remember really loving it as a kid. I do hope, however, he gets a bit less wacky with the camera over time, as he settles into the director's chair (Star Trek looks to continue the crazy camera moves). If MI:3 were shot a little more capably, I think it would have been a bigger hit.

So far JJ hasn't given me any reason to suspect that this will be a bad film. It might not get all the Klingon language pronunciation right or something, but as a Star Trek movie [or at the very least, as a piece of eye candy] it's going to be great.

It looks exciting, but what I'm really hoping is that it'll be smart. You know, the sort of social relevance/commentary that the original series paralleled in. Other than that, I am SO disappointed Chris Pine is not doing a William Shatner vocal impression. There's only one way to do captain kirk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bZKEhgieoc. Spock looks great, except when he looks like he's angry. That's not logical.
